I'm getting a kid into college. My dad's Alma Matter (sp).

That and I'm probably--with Will's help--going to write a biography of my dad. Will would defintely be a primary author.

i'm also working on a way to torment brian in his sleep...and wondering where Mr. Coghill goes when he should be writing all of us.

The art of guns and crack junkies
Where is everyone? Hello? Anyone do anything exciting lately? I've got an in-box full of guns at work- that's pretty strange. Okay, so it's pieces of paper representing guns that have been loaned to us for an exhibit that need to be entered into the database, but it's guns none the less. That and the other day I cleaned up the records for some crack house photographs from our collection. People shooting up, half naked- including a pregnant woman (and then a funeral for a baby from the same artist, sad and not merely a coincidence I imagine). Art is not limited to stuffy 19th century paintings by any means, and even if I am sitting at a computer all day, what passes before my eyes is rarely boring. What’s new with other folks?

Yeah Brian!

Thats pretty damn funny Brian. Good Job!

Hey, I have at long last restored my blog to its operating condition. It's here.

Brian, I've been reading yours. Is everyone else here reading Brian's website?

Birds are creepy. Very very creepy. I don't like them knowing stuff, it freaks me out. They're everywhere you know.

How the hell does SaraQ just find a picture of a penguin-camera? How does that slip by the commentary of all of us fine folks? Well, I've got some stranger bird behavior for you. I'm not sure which is stranger to me, though: this crow making a hook out of metal wire or this parrot learning to read. The next great human civilization may be lead by feathered emperors, folks.

Brian

Calling yourself stinky was the best moment of my entire day. As for being Dick Cheney.... Be quiet about that, or I'll send the hounds on you.

Tally 3-1

Funk = Stinky

2-1

Yes, Debz please tell us if Brian is stinky. I was going to defer to Debz'z first hand knowledge anyhow, seeing as that while I remember Brian as being "funky," I cant remember if that was because of smell or his infectious dance beats.

Happy birthday and fooper to Marty, Zach and Robbie (wherever he may be). Perhaps Andy will run into Robbie down in Mexico, and they can do some birthday snuggling. Then the Penguin can get a picture. Maybe he already has.

My birfday. Zach had a birfday too.

So did Robbie. Even Mormon's have birfdays.

The tally thus far:

1 stinky, 1 non stinky.

hmm.. I can vote in case of a tie. you know how I'll vote.
Debz, tell us how stinky Brian is.

Andy, the alien snuggler. It's got a certain international sex appeal, a certain Bond quality, but is at once very different. I think the problem is that, whenever I imagine Andy's life in an exotic locale, I always see it from a hidden camera positioned just behind the head of a three-foot inflatable emperor penguin. He's our POV, the witness to Andy's secret foreign rendezvouses (!). Of course, in my head, the penguin turns from side to side to follow Andy throughout his flat. It's sort of creepy in that regard.

I'm going to say that Brian is Not Stinky, because I love to support an underdog. This is despite the fact that Brian reeks like a fine, gross cheese. Whatever that means.

Happy birfday to Marty.

Andy is doing cool work. I'm jealous.

The tally so far: Stinky 1 not stinky 0

There has been a second. All those in favor say Aye, yes or "Bri Bri"

Althoughs opposed say nay, no or nope

There will be no Abstentions.

I would like to make a motion:

I move that Brian Dearth is stinky.

Is there a second?

Andy's my favorite limey tea bag.

Hi, everyone. My invitation has just now, finally, worked. Here's my problem with the Second-Floor Lounge: I get a lot more done when I don't have access to a TV. Thinking about Bushnell has made me wonder if I could go without a television for another year.

Then I think about missing a year of Alias and my head starts to hurt.

Sorry Marty, Andy's off opressing the people of Mexico at the moment ("fixing some local elections" is how he put it, I believe)- perhaps he'll come back to the blog soon and ramble on about slacks, the English or the virtues of sweater vests.

Brian, look into the face of evil, evil , evil! Man you're a freak.

Get your girl a Puppy you sick bastard!

My irritation is all Andy's fault. He's still oppressing me...and my people.

Let my people go Andy! Do it!

you know, if this was the damn muppet show, ya'll would be watching and commenting non stop. Post damn you.

I say again.

bah

Bah.
